Lauren Oyler seems to have a personal vendetta for her: Lauren Oyler · Ha ha! Ha ha! Jia Tolentino · LRB 13 January 2020

Three Women by Lisa Taddeo. Extremely overhyped, a bit of a cheesy and sexy YA feel to it but also some really important themes and stories. Pretty good read if you're innocent to the daily horrors of being a woman. Strange Hotel by Eimear McBride. Was very disappointed in this. Was hoping for...

Every sentence and absolute slog. It's rare for me to give up on a book. Why is he so popular.

I tried to read The Gift by Nabokov for my book club. I got two chapters in and admitted defeat. Turns out Russian meta-fiction isn't for me.

Happy New War: wow wrong thread.

Mark Fisher's The Weird and the Eerie. Highly enjoyable.

“Not all of Boko Haram’s acts of sexual violence may have been reported, but researchers I spoke with were unaware of such incidents.” My GOD.

This is it. "Everything about her begged to be victimized..." Um......

You KNOW Edna O'Brien!?!?!?

Yeah, I definitely think her being 88 is a part of it. If it was a 21-year-old she would instantly be cancelled...Twice.

Loved this. I learned a lot about Nigeria and Boko Harem. Very harrowing and not for anyone with a weak stomach or low tolerance for distressing scenes. Really beautifully written. One thing that left me feeling a little uncomfortable is the fact that this is written by a white, western woman. I...

My Friend Anna. Pretty entertaining read.

Did you finish the new Dark Age? How did you find it?

Read any Angela Carter?

Read In the Heart of the Heart of the Country by William H. Gass and thoroughly enjoyed. Kind of felt like No Country for Old Men but older. Just read Outline by Rachel Cusk. Really enjoyed and looking forward to reading more. Nearly finsihed Oryx and Crake, the new Margaret Atwood. As someone...

Finished Ian Maleaney's debut Minor Monumnets. Really lovely read. Very emotional. Goes a bit off track at times but I think its b/c the author has a genuine interest in music history and research and could probably do a seperate book on that. Now reading David Toop's Ocean of Sound. Really...

The Accidental is a good one! My favorite is Public Library and second is Boy Meets Girl. Enjoy! Winter is even better!

Oooh, which one? PS: I hope everyone knew that was a joke statement, what a horrible way to deduce the careers of two genuinely genius level authors who wrote incredible works through massive adversity! :D

Autumn is....One of the most beautiful books ever written T_T You have to read Winter now!

Sounds a bit like Jean Rhys... XXL.
